Quoting: Linas0.3 FPS? No problem, I'll just get one of those Vega cards, and I am sure it will be just fine.

Voodoo II or GTFO!

F1 2017 could be on the way to Linux, as Feral Interactive want to see demand for it

I'd hate to be the one at Feral having to make this decision. Over on Twitter, the responses to this question are mostly very positive, whereas here they are not.

Personally I'd rather they port something else.

Quoting: g000hThanks for sharing. Hope the Unity people fix it soon!

It has been fixed for a while now, devs must just upgrade their Unity versions.

Geocore, another six degrees of freedom shooter has Linux & Vulkan support

It has the same fullscreen bug as Rust, where you get no input so you have to load it up in Windowed mode. I assume this is a Unity engine bug, since multiple titles have it. If you make it fullscreen once it's loaded, it then works fine.

This is indeed a Unity bug. My games are mostly mouse-driven so it's a bit annoying. I think it might be fixed in Unity 2017.2b2 but I'm still on 5.6.2 so I use a somewhat janky and not 100% reliable workaround.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker, an isometric single-player RPG has reached the goal for a Linux version

Funny thing how personal experiences can influence attitudes.

My own experiences with crowdfunding has been positive in general, with one notable exception: Banner Saga. They did deliver the Linux port, but only barely enough to qualify as delivery. It never worked very well, they never bothered fixing the jank and for me right now it doesn't even run any more. To make it worse - the game is part of a trilogy, for which they are not even bothering to support Linux at all on parts 2 and 3.

Someone also mentioned Project CARS. That's a weird one... they never did a Linux port, but as far as I know this was not promised until way after we (partner & I) backed it. And since their model was an "investment" type thing, we've been getting actual money from them twice a year. Not a lot, but more than I put in, for sure.
